The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

Upcoming Public Meetings Metrolinx is holding a second round of Public Meetings in November 2016 to provide an update on the project preliminary design elements and technical studies completed as well as to seek input and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies for this and other Metrolinx initiatives A public meeting notice is attached Project Status Since our last meeting work has continued during the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP Work completed to date includes

bull Baseline Conditions Reporting bull First Round of Public Meetings held in FebMar 2016 bull Stakeholder consultation is underway and numerous meetings held to date with Conservation

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Page 8 of 11

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Vegetation Clearance Diagram

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

Upcoming Public Meetings Metrolinx is holding a second round of Public Meetings in November 2016 to provide an update on the project preliminary design elements and technical studies completed as well as to seek input and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies for this and other Metrolinx initiatives A public meeting notice is attached Project Status Since our last meeting work has continued during the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP Work completed to date includes

bull Baseline Conditions Reporting bull First Round of Public Meetings held in FebMar 2016 bull Stakeholder consultation is underway and numerous meetings held to date with Conservation

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

Upcoming Public Meetings Metrolinx is holding a second round of Public Meetings in November 2016 to provide an update on the project preliminary design elements and technical studies completed as well as to seek input and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies for this and other Metrolinx initiatives A public meeting notice is attached Project Status Since our last meeting work has continued during the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP Work completed to date includes

bull Baseline Conditions Reporting bull First Round of Public Meetings held in FebMar 2016 bull Stakeholder consultation is underway and numerous meetings held to date with Conservation

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Vegetation Clearance Diagram

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

Upcoming Public Meetings Metrolinx is holding a second round of Public Meetings in November 2016 to provide an update on the project preliminary design elements and technical studies completed as well as to seek input and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies for this and other Metrolinx initiatives A public meeting notice is attached Project Status Since our last meeting work has continued during the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP Work completed to date includes

bull Baseline Conditions Reporting bull First Round of Public Meetings held in FebMar 2016 bull Stakeholder consultation is underway and numerous meetings held to date with Conservation

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Vegetation Clearance Diagram

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull There are very few CCAs who are independent consultants and are not employed by a seed or chemical company and

bull If these restrictions are imposed farmers will lose access to their crop

November 3 2016

The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

Upcoming Public Meetings Metrolinx is holding a second round of Public Meetings in November 2016 to provide an update on the project preliminary design elements and technical studies completed as well as to seek input and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies for this and other Metrolinx initiatives A public meeting notice is attached Project Status Since our last meeting work has continued during the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP Work completed to date includes

bull Baseline Conditions Reporting bull First Round of Public Meetings held in FebMar 2016 bull Stakeholder consultation is underway and numerous meetings held to date with Conservation

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

K Allore advised that DAACrsquos motion regarding the Private Memberrsquos Bill on Certified Crop Advisors was presented to the Committee of the Whole on October 5 2016 and referred back to DAAC for clarification

Discussion ensued with regards to whether the Committee wished to re-submit their comments to the Committee of the Whole and Council for endorsement It was the consensus of the Committee that a report be presented to the Committee of the Whole and subsequently to Council providing additional information with regards to DAACrsquos motion and that DAACrsquos motion be provided again to the Committee of the Whole and Regional Council for approval It was agreed that the following comments be summarized in the report to provide further clarification

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull There are very few CCAs who are independent consultants and are not employed by a seed or chemical company and

bull If these restrictions are imposed farmers will lose access to their crop

C) Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) Update

K Allore stated that the revised Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) guidelines have been released by the Province and will take effect on March 1 2017 She stated that she will provide a copy of the final document once available

D) Guidelines on Permitted Uses in Ontariorsquos Prime Agricultural Areas

K Allore advised that the Guidelines on Permitted Uses in Ontariorsquos Prime Agricultural Areas was developed by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) with the intent to help municipalities decision-makers and farmers interpret Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) policies on permitted uses in prime Agricultural Areas

E) Rural and Agricultural Economic Development Update

N Rutherford provided an update on the following matters

bull Celebrate Agriculture Night was held on October 27 2016 at the Royal Ashburn Golf Course and was a huge success The 3 Agricultural Awards went to Brad Found (Leadership Award) the Rickard Family (Spirit of Agriculture) and the McKay Family (Family Farm Award)

bull The Local Food Entrepreneurship Workshop is scheduled for November 17 2016 at the Sunderland Memorial Arena Auditorium The workshop will be hosted by Durham Region in partnership with the Township of Brock Business Advisory Centre Durham (BACD) and OMAFRA with support from Durham Farm Fresh

The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

Upcoming Public Meetings Metrolinx is holding a second round of Public Meetings in November 2016 to provide an update on the project preliminary design elements and technical studies completed as well as to seek input and feedback on proposed mitigation strategies for this and other Metrolinx initiatives A public meeting notice is attached Project Status Since our last meeting work has continued during the Pre-Planning Phase of the TPAP Work completed to date includes

bull Baseline Conditions Reporting bull First Round of Public Meetings held in FebMar 2016 bull Stakeholder consultation is underway and numerous meetings held to date with Conservation

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Vegetation Clearance Diagram

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull There are very few CCAs who are independent consultants and are not employed by a seed or chemical company and

bull If these restrictions are imposed farmers will lose access to their crop

The purpose of this package is to provide an update on Metrolinx Electrification EA

Overview

Metrolinx is carrying out an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 23108 - Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings for electrification of the GO Transit Rail Network (see Figure 1) Specifically Metrolinx is examining the conversion of several rail corridors from diesel to electric propulsion The GO Rail Network Electrification TPAP (the Project) is an undertaking that will entail design and implementation of traction power supply system and power distribution components including an Overhead Contact System (OCS) along the rail corridors electrical feeder routes as well as a number of electrical power supplydistribution facilities (ie traction power facilities) located within the vicinity of the rail corridors

Electrification of the GO network requires electrical power to be supplied from Ontariorsquos electrical system through Hydro Onersquos existing high voltage grid via new 230 kV connection lines to the proposed Traction Power Substations As such Metrolinx and Hydro One are carrying out the TPAP as Co-Proponents and are working together on the conceptual design elements (tap locations) and environmental components of the project

The Study Area (see key map below) includes six GO rail corridors as well as proposed locations for the electrical power supply and distribution facilities

bull Union Station Rail Corridor bull Lakeshore West Corridor ndash From just west of Bathurst St (Mile 120) to Burlington bull Kitchener Corridor ndash UP Express Spur (at Highway 427) to Bramalea bull Lakeshore East Corridor ndash Don River to Oshawa GO Station bull Barrie Corridor ndash Parkdale Junction to Allandale GO Station bull Stouffville Corridor ndash Scarborough Junction to Lincolnville GO Station

Authorities Aboriginal Communities and utilities bull Continuing to meet with municipal provincial and federal review agencies bull Finalizing various conceptual design elements such as bridge modifications bull Impact Assessment studies are underway bull Draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) development is underway to be shared in 2017

The schedule of the TPAP has been updated since our last meeting Metrolinx is now targeting WinterSpring 2017 for the TPAP Notice of Commencement with TPAP Completion anticipated for SummerFall 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR)

In 2017 Metrolinx will be sharing the draft EPR with municipalities and other review agencies for comment The EPR will be divided into five (5) volumes

bull Volume 1 ndash identification of traction power facility sites description of the Study Area detailed description of the project componentsconceptual design including tap locations traction power supply power distribution and maintenance requirements associated with the electrification infrastructure and equipment Includes Conceptual Electrification Roll Plans

bull Volume 2 ndash detailed description of the baseline environmental conditions (environment

potentially affected) within the Study Area Organized by rail corridor

bull Volume 3 ndash describes the potential environmental effects recommended mitigation measures net environmental effects and monitoring activities associated with implementation of the project Organized by rail corridor

Page 4 of 11

bull Volume 4 ndash describes the consultation process and activities that were carried out including key consultation milestones Overview of the inputcommentsfeedback received from various stakeholders (ie Review Agencies Aboriginal Communities the Public Property Owners etc) and how they were considered by Metrolinx and Hydro One

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Vegetation Clearance Diagram

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

bull Electricity Planning Next Steps

J Toneguzzo stated that IESO works with Ontariorsquos power system to ensure that there is enough power to meet the provincersquos energy needs while also planning for and securing energy for the future With respect to the GTA East he stated that the Region is broken down into two sub-regions Oshawa-Clarington and Pickering-Ajax-Whitby He stated that Durham Region has experienced a lot of growth and as a result needs to look at new transformer stations to accommodate that growth

J Toneguzzo stated that Community Energy Planning could significantly impact future electricity demand in the Region He provided the following four factors that could impact electricity demand in the mid to long term in the Region

bull Climate change policies that affect electricity use bull Continued intensification and development in Durham Region bull Electrification of mass transit and personal use vehicles and bull Retirement of Pickering GS and future use of site

J Toneguzzo stated that in June 2016 the Minister of Energy requested IESO to submit a technical report on the adequacy and reliability of Ontariorsquos electricity resources in support of the Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) He stated that the Ontario Planning Outlook (OPO) was submitted in September 2016 and provides planning context for the public policy makers and industry stakeholders and serves as an early input into the Ministryrsquos LTEP consultation process The OPO looks at the needs of the electricity system over the next two decades associated with capacity reliability market and system operations transmission and distribution and includes a 10-year review and a 20-year outlook for Ontariorsquos electricity system

J Toneguzzo stated that actions taken over the past 10 years have left Ontario well positioned to meet future provincial needs but taking advantage of future opportunities and mitigating future risks will require ongoing efforts

J Toneguzzo and A Pietrewicz responded to questions of the Committee

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

bull Volume 5 ndash describes the proposed commitments and future work to be carried out during

future project phases (eg detailed design construction) addendum process and outlines the additional anticipated approvalspermits required for implementing the project beyond EA Act requirements

Twelve (12) technicalenvironmental supporting reports were produced that will be included as Appendices to the EPR These reports include Natural Environment Assessment Environmental Site Evaluation Land Use and Socio-economic Assessment Air Quality Assessment Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Assessments Visual Impact Assessment Noise and Vibration Assessments Utilities Assessment Stormwater Management Report and EMIEMF Assessment Your Municipality will be receiving a copy of the draft EPR in December 2016January 2017 Metrolinx will be seeking your comments within six weeks Traction Power Facilities

Metrolinx will require two Traction Power Facilities (TPFs) within your Municipal boundaries The Durham Switching Station (SWS) is to be located on a parcel of land at 1610 Bayly Street in Pickering (Figure 1) The site is primarily open space hydro corridor with recreational buildings amenities (Pickering Playing Fields) in the southeast corner The northeast corner has some tree cover vacant lots with ponding of water in a man-made structure The site is entirely surrounded by industrial development and Highway 401 Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the SWS facility is located in the triangular northeast corner of the parcel adjacent to the rail corridor (Figure 2) It is currently vacant lot with some vegetation

Page 5 of 11

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

Figure 1 ndash Durham SWS

Figure 2 ndash Durham SWS

Switching Stations (SWS) are traction power facilities that are located between Traction Power Substations (TPS) to segregate power flow on the network This is necessary to manage the utility power that supplies the railroad systems Under normal operating conditions the two supplies are separated by phase breaks The SWS enables electrical energy to be supplied to an adjacent but normally separated electrical section during contingency power supply conditions In the event there is a utility outage or failure of a supply transformer the breakersswitches at the SWS can be closed to continue to supply power to the trains and maintain operational service for the public

Page 6 of 11

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

The following equipment is associated with the SWS facilities

bull SWS equipment (requiring an approximate footprint size of 22m X 55 m) including two 15 MVA autotransformers medium voltage switchgear for connections to the OCS

bull Gantries bull Aerial or underground feeders connecting to the OCS bull Access route

The East Rail Maintenance Facility (ERMF) Traction Power Substation (TPS) is to be located on a parcel of land situated on a vacant piece of land north of the rail corridor and east of Hopkins Street (Figure 3) The ERMF which is currently under construction will be located on the opposite side of Hopkins Street All development in the surrounding area is industrial with a hydro corridor bordering the site to the east Based on the conceptual design the proposed positioning of the TPS facility is located on the eastern side of the parcel adjacent to the hydro corridor (Figure 4)

Figure 3 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

Page 7 of 11

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

Figure 4 ndash ERMF TPS and Tap Sites

It should be noted that the ERMF is currently under construction by Metrolinx on this site The location and infrastructure required for the ERMF Tap is described as follows

bull Tapping from existing Hydro One 230kV transmission line ndash Hydro One circuits H24C H26C bull Two Hydro One ownedconstructed structures will be required at tap point location to be

determined by Hydro One (each approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) underadjacent to the Hydro One 230kV transmission lines to facilitate tapping the 230kV transmission circuits

bull For purposes of the TPAPconceptual design phase it was assumed that underground 230kV connection cables via two duct banks (approx 2m X 2m 1m depth) will be installed from the Hydro One tap structures to two new Metrolinx tap structures (approximately 10m2 up to 30m tall) If deemed feasible during detailed design the connection may be installed via aerial feeders at this location however no change to the potential environmental effects are anticipated in this scenario since the underground option is more intrusive

bull The tap location can be accommodated within same property boundary as the TPS facility bull The site for TPS and Tap is owned by Metrolinx

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

Bridges

In order to run OCS wires under bridges without attachments there must be sufficient clearance between the messenger wirecatenary and the lowest part of the bridge structure Where sufficient clearance does not exist attachments (eg tunnel arms) on the structure are required in order to support the OCS In addition for rail overpass structures OCS support structures (portalscantilevers) may need to be installed on the structure to support the OCS system

There are four design options for installing OCS to bridgerail overpass structures 1 Wires lsquofree runrsquo under the bridge with no modification required 2 Install attachments to bridge to support OCS wires running under the bridge 3 Install OCS support structures on rail overpass structures 4 Attach to tunnel with tunnel arm(s)

In the case of concrete bridges if the vertical clearance between OCS conductors and concrete overpasses is less than 1m (3rsquo3rdquo) protection panels (flash plates) will be installed above the OCS attached to the underside of the bridge and interconnected to the static wire For steel overpasses the steel girders will be interconnected and bonded to the static wire

A bridge protection barrier is required to protect pedestrians and travelersinfrastructure users within the public right-of-way on bridges from direct contact with adjacent live parts of the OCS for voltages up to 25 kV to ground In addition these barriers protect against damage to the OCS passing under bridges by providing an obstacle to debris that may be thrown onto the railway from overhead The length of the protection barrier will extend a minimum of approximately 3m laterally beyond the live parts of the overhead contact system on either side the bridge The barriers will be made of solid-faced material and will be a minimum height of approximately 2m (barriers of greater heights may be required in areas where vandalism is prevalent) High voltage signage will also be provided as an additional safety measure

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

Tree Compensation Approach

Metrolinx supports a sustainable and vibrant tree canopy across the region

Trees and other vegetation are not always compatible with an electrified rail service as they can

bull Cause falling wires from overhead catenary system bull Put the safety of our customers workers and neighbours at risk bull Potentially impact service to the thousands of residents who rely on GO service on a daily basis

Vegetation adjacent to the railway tracks will be removed to enable the installation of the Overhead Contact System (OCS) and 25kV feeder routes to ensure the safety of rail operations and reliability of the system

The vegetation clearance zone will be a maximum 7 meter zone from the centre of the outermost electrified track This 7 m zone includes

bull 29 m clearance from the track to the OCS pole to ensure clearance of the train to the OCS pole bull 25 m vegetation clearance from the OCS pole to the limits of the trees and bull Up to 16 m to account for tree grow back (regrowth zone)

Page 10 of 11

Vegetation Clearance Diagram

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

Noise Mitigation

GO Transit Expansion is bringing more train trips to every GO rail corridor Trains will be running up to every 15 minutes there will be service in both directions more all-day service and there will be electric trains There will also be 150 km of new track (to allow for more uninterrupted service) new bridges and tunnels and new and renovated stations This expansion will bring more noise and an important part of the Environmental Assessment process involves understanding noise impacts and identifying ways to mitigate them

When new infrastructure is built Metrolinx undertakes a Noise and Vibration Modelling study to understand the amount of noise that will be generated by the increased service

The 1995 draft MOEEGO Transit Noise Protocol stipulates that

bull Mitigation must be considered if the project is expected to cause a 5 dB increase or greater in the average noise (referred to as ldquoLeqrdquo) relative to the existing noise level or the MOE objectives of 55 dBA for daytime and 50 dBA for night-time

bull The Protocol also states that noise mitigation is required if it is administratively operationally economically and technically feasible

Page 11 of 11

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

A copy of the Public Meeting display materials will be posted to the project website wwwgotransitcomelectrification

If you have any questions comments or feedback for the Project Team please contact James Hartley via e-mail JamesHartleymetrolinxcom by November 30 2016

Alternatively if you would like to arrange a meeting to discuss the project in more detail we would be happy to schedule a teleconference or in-person meeting

Metrolinx is working to compare the noise generated by existing GO service to the amount of noise that will be generated once the new GO infrastructure has been built and the higher levels of service are provided

The key in this analysis is to identify areas where noise is expected to increase by 5 dBA or more (as per the Provincersquos Transit Noise and Vibration Protocol) Corridor Plans within your municipalityRegion is attached and show the locations where the gt 5 dB is expected Areas with noise increases greater than gt 5 dB will be considered for mitigation

Next Steps

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull If these restrictions are imposed farmers will lose access to their crop

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull If these restrictions are imposed farmers will lose access to their crop

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull The ldquoCertified Crop Advisorrdquo (CCA) certification was established in 1992 to provide a benchmark for practicing agronomy professionals in the United States and Canada

bull CCAs are consultants used by farmers who are educated about the different products available and can advise farmers on what should be used given the specific needs of each operation

bull CCAs provide advice on a number of matters including nutrition fertilizer herbicide and seed selection This is why CCAs are often employed by companies who sell many different products

bull Farmers should have the flexibility to continue to work with the CCA professionals they have established trusted relationships with

bull CCAs present options to farmers for their consideration and the farmer makes the final decision on what is best for their property and business

Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee Page 4 of 6 November 1 2016

bull CCAs can work for seed stores representing multiple companies they do not benefit financially by recommending one company or product over another

bull ON Reg 13915 related to CCAs was implemented too quickly and did not provide farmers the opportunity to understand the full impact of these changes during the initial consultation period

bull If these restrictions are imposed farmers will lose access to their crop
